EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of GOST P-55660 testing. GOST P-55660 specifies methods for determining the volatile matter content of solid mineral fuels. The standard applies to all types of solid mineral fuels, including coal, coke, lignite, peat and biomass.
The standard provides guidance on sample preparation, analytical techniques and calculation methods for determining the volatile matter content of solid mineral fuels. The volatile matter content is expressed as a percent by weight of the sample.
The sample preparation procedure is critical to obtaining accurate volatile content measurements. GOST P-55660 states that the sample must be ground and homogenized before analysis. The standard also provides guidance on the particle size of the sample, which can affect the accuracy of the measurement.
GOST P-55660 outlines several analytical techniques that can be used to determine the volatile matter content of solid mineral fuels. These include thermogravimetry, which involves heating the sample in a controlled atmosphere and measuring the weight loss from volatile evaporation, and heating the sample in a controlled atmosphere and volatile matter, moisture, and ash content.
The standard specifies the calculation methods that should be used to determine the volatile matter content based on the results from the analysis. The volatile content is calculated as the weight loss from evaporation of the volatile matter expressed as a percentage of the original sample weight.
GOST P-55660 is important to the solid fuel industry, as it provides a standardized approach to measuring the volatile matter content of solid mineral fuels. Accurate measurement of volatile matter content is critical for quality control and predicting the energy content and combustion characteristics of solid fuels. The standard helps ensure consistency and accuracy in volatile content measurement, which can help reduce variability in fuel quality and reduce the environmental impacts associated with fuel combustion.
